Government seeks injunction against private clinic

A judge will decide whether two private health clinics in Vancouver will be allowed to keep illegally billing customers for services covered by Medicare.

The Medical Services Commission has made good on its threat to seek a court-ordered injunction against Cambie Surgeries Corporation and the specialist referral clinic.

On July 18th, both clinics were given 30 days notice to stop the extra billing.

Staff with the Ministry of Health have confirmed the injunction has been filed because the operators of the clinic have refused to comply with the commission’s orders.

No word yet on when, or if, the injunction will be approved.
